Ferrari FXX K
Ferrari refers to this car as FXX K rather than LaFerrari FXX K, as u might have noticed the xx in name indicates that this is an experimental version of a car, solely with the purpose of collecting data and the K rationally enough stands for the Kinetic energy recovery system the KERS. Equipped with unprecedented latest technologies, this uncompromising road illegal weapon, does not qualify for any competition or races.
Lapping the Ferrari's Fiorano test track in just 1.14 sec, 6 sec faster than the time set by LaFerrari, it is exclusive to just 40 examples. Each costing $2.5 million each and sadly all sold out already. It is due to hit the tracks in mid-2015.
Technicalities
It Employs the same basic but an uprated version of V-12 electric Drive train as in LaFerrari, but delivers more power with the peak coming online at an amazing 9,200 rpm. Boosting an output of 1036bhp : 848 bph coming from naturally aspirated V12 and 187 from the electric motor this car is capable of sprinting from 0-6.2 mph in under 2.9 seconds.Well droping all the technicalities lets just say this car is 5 to 6 times faster than its road version LaFerrari. Also note that all the silencers on the exhausts has been eliminated, well you what that means, a maximum roaring Ferrari.
Modes
As is customary in any Super sport this car has an upgraded version of LaFerrari's console module, featuring an overhauled version of KERS electric system with four modes decorating the manettino.
- Qualify ( For the Maximum performance )
- Long run
- Manual Boost
- Fast Charge ( Charging the batteries in under one lap )
Design
In addition to more power this machine is also benefits from improved aerodynamics. In other words it produces massive amounts of down force, more than half a ton to be precise.
Speaking of the car's Aero, Boari points out " This car has an aerodynamic efficiency of 2.84. And formula F1 car is 3 "
It said to create almost 1200 pounds of downforce at 124 mph. Interestingly it has an Active Aero meaning, that the car only implies as much as is needed to keep the car glued to the tracks.Well the Ferrari sprouted a whole bunch of stuff for downforce like the double deck spoiler with the vertical fins at the front and the winglets in the low drag configuration at the back.The winglets works as guide vanes while boosting the function of the spoiler in the high downforce mode.
